The amendment would change the structure of the assembly and trim the senate from I 5 members to 10.

Jodancalls forreview of ddnldng age ByANDREW FLOHR-SPENCE spencand@mscd.edu Is it time to rethinkthe minirnurl legalilrinking age? President Stephen fordan announcedlastweekhe would ioin college and uni\â&#x201A;Źrsity presidentsfrom acrossthe country in signinga statement in support of a review of the federal2 l-and-over law. "It is time, I believe,for us to have a real conversationabout alcohol and what the appropriate age limits are and the ways to control it," lordan told Meho's hustees Sept. 5, at the monthly boardmeeting. Coauthored by former Midillebury Collegeof Vermont President JohnMcCardelland severalother collegeand university presidentsaround the nation, the AmethystInitiative's statementquestionsthe effectiveness of the current federallaw and asksfor a nationaldebateon the issue. The organization said the law which is the highestminimum drinking age in the world, contributes to "clandestine"behavior and hinders colleges' ability to adequately deal with the issue. The problem of binge drinking. a statement on the group's website read, is connectedto the high age limit becauseteenagersare forcedto drink behind closedoors away from adultsupervision. Another criticism the group raised was the inconsistency of allowing youth to enlistin the military and to voCeat 18, while tellingthem theyarenot matureenoughto drink. The production of iake IDs is alsoincreased asteenagers find u'ays around the restrictions,the group says. Since the initiative was started in June,almost I 50 presidentsfrom collegesand uni\â&#x201A;Źrsitiesaround the country have signedon in support, sparkinga debatenationwide. MothersAgainsl Drunk Driving has released several statements rn responseto the Amethyst Initiative, saying that Americans overwhelmingly rejectsucha changein law and citingwhat it saysis conclusive evidenceshowing2 I is an effectiveage. MADD said statisticsreflecting a marked drop in alcohol deaths after 1984 provethat the law has worked and shouldnot bechanged. In 1984, the federalgovernment passedthe National Minimum Drinking AgeAct. The act requiresstatesto comply with the minimum drinking age or risk losing l0 percentof their highway funds. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have come out againstthe presidents'initiative, recommending the country maintain the 2 I -year-minimum legaldrinking

It's the perfect mix of puppets, pom, profanity. And purpose. AvenueQ, the Broadwaymusical that has gainednot only a massivecult following - but also worldwide popularity - comes to Denverthrough Sept.21. While it's no Phantom of the Op era or l-esMserables,AvenueQ doeswhat fer,rrmusicalscan do: make you laugh and generally feel good about youself. With songslike "It sucksto be me," "Shadenfreude"and "For Now," you can't leavethe Ellie Caulkins OperaHouse witlout humming and skipping.At leaston the inside. With music by Robert Iopez and Jeff Marx, the show, which is not suitablefor children under 13, has won threeTony Awards.A castmixed with puppetsand humans, AvenueQ was createdby Iopez and Marx freshout of college.Beyondpuppets, the showmixesmediaand discoballs.A [ttle bit of Cinemaxand a lot of SesameStreet, The musical follows collegegrad Princeton.

A caricatureof our times

Re: "End of Days" by Andrew Howerton

What's black and white and read a]l over? Apparendy,the f-word printed in a studentpublication. It wasn't long agothat the ColoradoStateUniversity'sCollegiangarnerednational attention with its infamous "TaserThis: Fuck Bush" editorial. Lastweek,The Metropolitanprinted a cartoon with the sameexpletire in the presentparticiple form. Iikewise, negativefeedbackfollowed. We won't hide behind the idea of freedomof speechand rattle the chainsof the First Amendment- this isn't that type of quandary. Andr€w Howerton'scartoon wasmerelythal a cartoon. And our collegepaperis just that: a collegepaper,and one aimedat an adult audience. Therewasa discussionabout the work, and it wasfelt that Howerton's messagervasnot usedin a way that was meant to intentionally demean,* offendor provokeanyone. And ue sincerelyand dutifully apologizeto anyonethat was upsetby the cartoon. Lastyear,a greatdealof negativity was alsodirectedat the Met due to a piecetitled "Night Class."The storyfocusedon a studentwho performed as an exoticdancerin the evenings,and many found the pictures and the content questionable,racy and offensive. In betweenthesetwo instanceswe have run storieson increasedfees for students,health care being denied for same-sexcouplesand student moneybeingbudgetedfor renovationson the StudentGovernmentAssembly'solfice. Yet,we receivemor€ feedbackon issuesof superficialcontroversyand of little relevance. We &dn't invent profanity; we didn't createstrippers. Thesethings exist,and we are all adults here. We aseditors havethe responsibilityto gaugeand determinet'hether viewpoints, subjectsand languageare tasteful and relevant, r,ltrile at the sametime understandingour audience. Our readersare dearly valued, and in the future, we will continue to exerciseour bestjudgment to respectand representthem. And aseditors,we hopethat it doesn'ttakescreamingprofanity to get a whisperfrom the studentbody Becausein the end,this is your paper;theseareyour issues;this is your voice.And we will do our bestto keepyour afiention.

Editor. I r,ras personally shocked and disappointeri when I sar,r'thepolitical cartoon that appearson page A8 in this week s }letropolitan. Does the Met typically publish work that resorts to profanity that rve wouldn t seein 99 percent of the country's daily and r,t'eeklynelvspapers?I'm not sure that I ever have seen the f-n'ord published in a college paper, and I'm for sure certain that I never have seen it in any main-

daily weekly,communiry or metro newspaper.I hope you will have the courage to publish my criticism. I also hope to soon seea help-r.r'antedad for a new cartoonist. Sadly.the fine, honest work of so many talented ]'oung

stream community or metro newspapers. i'm sule the artist thought he rvas "pushing the envclope" of free speechor was attempting to come across as an anti-establishment "mal'erick" unairaid to stretch the boundaries of free speechat an academic institution. I found thc artist's retort a very ignorant display o[

journalism program that so many work so hard to uphold. It'e are better than this, but that s not what thousands n'ill

ried. Many Republicanswere strongly convinced that if Sen. Hillary Clinton took the vice president's spot on the Barack Obama ticket there $'ould be no s'ay for Republicans 1o tvin in November. Ilut. as we all know, a woman was not invited to run on the Democratic ticket. Instead, the Republican Party stepped in and now offers the country a chance to mcrke history While the Democrats so often make themselvesout to be the champion for women's rights. suddenly n'e have the Republicansdoing what the Democrats n'ould not.

mote them? I n/ant to share another insider secret $'ith I'ou: Palin's acceptance of the l'ice president'sposition on the Republican ticket has awakened a sleeping giant. Republicans have become so energizedby rvho she is that there may be no stopping them. And it is her personalcharacterthat is so amazing, not just the redundant use of the word "change"withoul the important "what" or "how" Part of my family lives in Wasilla, Alaska, My mother has seen Palin shopping at the grocery store r,t4thher family, and my sister has seen her at

child, she choseto protect its little life. In addition to being a successfulparent, Palin has spent her careerin poli tics fighting against corruption and big government sp€nding.elen when it mezrnt fighting against individuals within her or.r,nparty. Sen. John Ivlccain is looking for Palin to lead IJ.S.oil and energy policy if he is electedto the olficeof president; this alone carries hisloric significance. Palin has more experience dealing with oil and energy issues than anyone elseon either ticket. According to The Sunday Telegraph, Palin would be in charge of increasing federal funding to help develop clean-coal technology and electric{ar technology, as n'ell as nuclear, r,l'ind and solar power. She has already fought against oil giants to develop a $40 billion natural-gas pipeline and forced oil companies to relinquish licenseson land that they were not developing.Sheis not ignor-

I am not so naiVe as to think she is perfect,but she has shor.rrrthat she is r,!'illing to take responsibility for her actions and decisions. Many would have n'ritten off a baby with Down syndrome and called it freedom of choice. Irlstead o[ gesi.og nd,of rbe

ing the need to process our own oil, however. Palin said in her RNC speech, "the fact that drilling $'on't solve every problem is no excuseto do nothing at all." Is it possible that in the hands of this lr'oman America might finally become energy independent?I .thin& so. .

demoteswimming Uiolations ByzACTAYLOR ztaylor2omscd-edu Nobody on the team kneu but the spring 2OO8swimming and diving seasonwould be the last for the Metro varsity team. After the final meet, the swimmers and divers were informed that swimming and diving was being droppedas a varsity sport at Mefo due to numerousNCAA violations. "I had my suspicionsin the Spring after our secondround of violations," saidformer volunteerassistantcoach ChrisFarris. "But it wasn't until I got the phone call (for the mandatory meeting) that I knew our program wasdone." According to MeEo Athletic Director Joan McDemrott, there were threereasonsthat the varsity swimming and diving'programwas cut: NCAA violations fall of 2007, violations in the spring, and a failure to haveenough peopleon the mster for the pastfive years. The lack of participants is mosdy an unfortunate consequenceof a non-Eaditional, commuter college, The violations in both seasonswere the result of swirnners competing despit€not taking at least 12 credits and maintaining a 2.5 GPA as required by the NCAA. In the fall alone there were between1l and l5 violations, Farrissaid. "The Athletic Department told (head mach) Casey(Story) and I it couldn't happenagain," Farris said. But a change of head coaches

couldn't halt the violations when 2008 began. "T\ro girls on the t€am, without telling us, had been swimining with Iessthan 12 credits,"Farrissaid. "I don t think anyonewas more [rustrated than me and Caseythat the team wasdropped." Story had beenthe head coach for the spring season after former head coach Winthrop Dyer, who had led the team for two years,resigned over personal issues. Story had intended !o becomethe permanent head coach of his alma mater, but after the program lost its NCAA designation, the former Metro star chosea dillerentroute. "When we found out that the program was being cut, Caseydecided that it was not beneficial to come down and coach at Metro," Farrissaid."I'vebeenin the program for four years, and I wanted to keep swimming alivehere at Meho." Farris founded the Metro swimming and diving club team. "My goal is to get this team back into a position where we might be a 'iAlvarsity sport again," Farris said, though for a lot of the swimmers,this is a betler situation right now" Being a club sport is certainly beneficialto Univervisty of Colorado Denver and Colorado Cornmunity Collegestudentsat Auraria. As a varsity Metro sport, only full-time Metro students could join, but as a club sport, anybodytaking a classon campus is eligible aslong asthey pay the dues,which, Farris admits it can be

Having to pay to swim is a far cry from someathletesgetting full or partial scholarships,but sevenformer swimmers have stayedto compete for the club team. Not all are happy about the switch from varsity to club. Sophomorediver Abdul Yacubudid not have the academic standing to be able to dive for Metro last season,but he had worked to

gain eligibility to be able to dive in the fall. Now he won't be competing in the NCAA despitehis having met the requirements. "I was ready to compete, so I wasn't real happy about it," Yacubu said in betweenpractice dives. "But it's sflll a chanceto keepdiving." As presidentand head coach of the new Metro club swimming and diving team, Farris has a similar feeling. He was dissapointedto see the varsity team fall after all the hard

work he put into it during four years asa playerand coach.Now he'smaking do with what he has as he roams the edgeof the poolwakhing his new team comeinto shape. The one thing that won t change from the NCAA daysis that they will competeagainstthe sameschools,including MesaSlal.e,Schoolof Mines and DU.And after file coachesat the program over the last four years,stability can be a goodthing.
